Abstract excerpt
The engineering of therapeutic human artificial episomal chromosomes, HAECs, requires the development of strategies to deliver large functional self-replicating extrachromosomal DNA in target cells. Members of the herpesviral family are among the largest episomal double-stranded DNA viruses. As model systems of this family of endemic infectious agents, vectors derived from the human herpes 4 Epstein-Barr virus...
